This Company has been established for the putpose of purchasing a property in the kingdom of Sweden, known as the Gellivar t Estates, with the Irew of developing its great resources. The property comprises— (A) About 1,200,000 acres of land, 900,000 acres of which are freehold, and the remaining 300,000 acres can be made of the same tenure. More than 500,000 acres consist of good forests of red and white pines ; 100,000 acres are already under cul tivation or fit for it; and fur.her extensive districts will become available for agricultural purposes. (B) The Gellivara iron bed is probably the largest and most productive in the worid, txtending over nearly three square miles. The ore consists partly of hematite and partly of protoxide of iron, without any visible trace of pyrite, yielding on the average 65 per cent. of pure metal. The mountain Mrsurveyed in 1857 and ractical English mining engineer. Thomas, F.G.S.,he reported his opinion to be that— ' By adopting a systematic mode of working, there may be readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very fine magnetic ironstone, readily obtainable by levels, and without the application of any draining machinery; and that, no doubt, even tnis large quantity might be materially in creased by removal of top rubbish and vegetation on the line of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found necessary to apply any machinery for drainage." The mountain was likewise inspected in 1852 by Professor Erdmann, Chief Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in Sweden, and, according to his report, a great number of the veins are estimated at from to 200 feet in thikness, and about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one s single vein may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million tons of ore. (C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building yard, &c. The greater portion of this property was purchased from the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confined to the wood business: and to a gradual extension of the cultiva- tion of the land. The wood business yields very favourable results. The annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards, or about 33,000 loads, coating on an average £3, and selling readily for shipment to England, France, Spain, &c., at prices equal to an average of XI ss. per standard, tree on board at the shipping ports, thus showing a profit of £1 ss. er stan dard. This production can b; considerably increased by the erection of more sawmills. The value of the iron ore is increased by the circumstance that, without encroaching on the timb:r adapted for more valuable purposes, tie forests of the estates and the waste wood at Lhe different sawmills rive an abundant supply of charcoal, at a low cost, so that 25,000 tons of pig iron can readily be made at a cost of Zl. 19s. per ton, free on board at t he shipping port, while the present selling price is above £4 per ton. A ready sale of the ore tray be safely calculated on at the estimated price of 154 per ton, tree onboard, at the shipping port. the owners of the for sts , nd s •wm lls on both the Siv , dish and Finland side of the Gill of Bothnia, woo have now lar.. , e cptanti ies of wood annually wasted, which they oou .1 turn into value by' making charcoa of it if they could , obtain god iron ore at a moderate cost tor sme'ting. The only obstacle for working the mineral property has bee , the ttifficulty of transport of the ore from the mountain to th furnaces a d shipping pert. The Sw dish G .vern- In ent an i D et. fu ly appri•ciating the gri'at benefit . which the working of th se valuable mines would have on the naiiisnal pro perity, have now le it their aid by er tilting a considerable subvention f r fa ilitating the trausp-rt. Very carefu urveys have proved that tie mo tec nomi cal means of transport will be by ara lway from the iron mountain to the r rLue. a distance • f abow sixty avoid I nLe.i, and by further making two -hort cana o rapids and fal s, watch will render that river navigab e to the port of G tddylk in the Gu f of Bothni inn rol The entire cost of thi rat way, nichttrg stock, and of the Iwo canals, will not exteed £232,000, and °ward thi th e e Swdi h Government and Det have g ed a vent•on to die iLmount of 850, 000 i rix dollars, rant or abou! £48,000. This Comp my has cent •acted to purchase all these valu able estates for the sum of (225,0:0, in order to carry on and extend the Wood busine s, to extend the cultivation of the lan to work the mineral wealth of the property, and to cons ruct for this purpose the railway from the Gel ivara iroa mount du to the river Lule and the two canal , on that river. For these purposes a capital of £500,000 is required. The presen stock, about 8,000 standards of manufactured wood goods, will be taken over from the vendors at their actual cost price, whereby a considerable profit wi 1 be directly gained by the Company. Three years will be required to construct the railroad and the canals, so as to bring the iron business into full operation. The returns of the undertaking may then be fairly esti mated as under:- Ist. From the sale of 60,000 tons of iron ore to pro prietors of furnaces in Sweden and Finland, at a profit of 6s. per ton 2d. From the oduction of 25,000 tons of nig iron at the Company s own furnaves at a profit of £2 Is per ton 3d. From 15,000 standards of wood at a profit of £lss, per standard 18,750 4th. From net incom e of railwa y 395 sth. From net income of canal and traffic thereon 6, £103,095 Dechmtfor management, &c.. 8,095 ------- Net Profit or 19 per cent. on the share capiial irrespective of from land, probable increase in sale of ore, and profits returns to be derived from the Company making bar iron and steel. During the first three years required for the full develop ment of the property, the vendors guarantee that the income on the paid-up capital shall amount to at least 6 per cent per annum payable half-yearly, and they have bound themselves to make up any deficiency in such amounts ; as security for the due fulfilment of h this guarantee, the vendors leave in the ands of the Company £50,000 of the purchase-money, which, together with the profits of the wood business, forms an ample guarantee fund. The map and schedule of the estates, estimates of c)st of railroad and canals, and estimates of cost of production of iron and wood, together with the reports of Mr. t homes, and of Mr. Alexander Erdmann, and a letter from the Minister of the Interior, in Sweden, bearing testimony to the great in terest of the Swedish Government in the undertaking, may be seen at the Company's Offices.

January Trabuco and " At half past fou r on t h e even i ng o f th e 3d o f de Naples, were arrest e d. Th e police at once v i s i te d their rooms ; the visit w as a t tended w i th these re sults—in the room occupi e d b y T ra b uco, and i n t h e drawer of a clothes chest, was f ound an oilcloth b ag Greco, who were at the Hotel fastened by a lock. Trabuco, when requested to open it, said at first that the bag was not his, and that it had been given to him by an Englishman to take to London. He was searched, and on him was found the key of the bag, which contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, a poniard and two bombs charged with powder, and furnished, the one with 12, the other with six, nipples. With another key. which was also found on Trabuco, they opened the wooden box bought at the trunkmaker's, Liard, and in it were discovered revolver cases, three packages of percussion caps, and an instrument for adjusting the nipples of the bombs. " In the writing table of Greco was found a tra velling bag which one of Trabuco's keys opened ; it contained, rolled up in a handkerchief, two bombs charged with powder, and with 12 nipples. The bag contained, moreover, an instrument for screwing on the nipples, two papers of powder, and a formid able revolver, ready loaded and primed. They dis covered, too, in the possession of Greco and concealed in various ways, several documents, some of them emanating from Mazzini. "This letter was communicated by Greco to Mozzini, and then returnz4l by IJazzini to Greco as useful to try and to hold Imperatori, " Greco next added Trabuco. This individual had long led a vagrant life. In 1850 and 1351 be was employed as a physician, receiving wages on board the French ships Al gesiras and Pandora. He disappeared, leaving debts behind him. He was convicted in Paris on the 14th October, 1857, and sentenced to imprisonment for one year, for swindling under the name of Belisario. Having been expelled on the 13th October, 1858, by an administrative decree he went to Italy, where he served with the Chasseurs of the Appenincs, and thence to London, where he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for robbery on the 10th of August, 1861, " Greco, who saw him for the first time at Naples in 1860, met him again at Genoa in November, 1863, and again at Lugano and Mendrizio in December. Frequent meetings took placo between these two men. Trabuco enjoyed the reputation of being a daring conspirator; and Quadric), one of Mazzini's secretaries, assured Greco that he should find in him a devoted auxiliary. He entered into the plot, in which it was seen above he took a particularly active part. " In fine, three or four days previous to the departure of Greco for France, Imperatori came to him to present a young man named Scaglioni, one of the Thousand' of Marsala who had been compelled to quit Paris, a warrant having been issued against him for some act of violence. Scaglioni declared he was determined to attempt the Emperor's life. Greco explained to him, in the presence of Imperatori, the danger they were about to incur. Imperatori repeated that for his part he made the sacrifice of his life, and that he was resolved, inflexible as fate. Scaglioni wished to consider the matter. He returned, and said he was determined, and asked to be permitted to join in the plot. Greco admitted him, assisted him to procure a passport under the name of Maspoli, and they prepared for their departure. The Em peror had takeroup his residence in Paris for the winter. " Greco only waited for an air-gun which he was to receive from Mazzini. This weapon was delivered to him in Decem ber. The following day the four prisoners quitted Lugano, having each in his travelling bag two of the bombs procured by Greco, who wished to take only eight of the 10 bombs received from Mazzini. They were provided with other arms and with gunpowder purchased by Greco in Switzarland. They crossed the frontiers eight days afterwards. " At 7 o'clock the same evening Imperatori and Maspoli were arrested in a wine shop. They were conducted to the Hotel de Naples, where a search was made in their presence. Nothing of a suspicious kind was found in Imperatori's room ; but the drawers of Maspoli's clothes chest contained four bombs charged with powder, each with six nipples, a revolver loaded and primed, a package of powder, one of bullets, three boxes of percussion caps, two poniards, and divers others objects appertaining to firearms. With these things discovered before their eyes, it seemed difficult for the accused to deny their criminal projects. They at first attempted to main tain that they had no culpable intention; but they had eventually to make up their minds to a full avowal. Greco was the first to do so, and his de clarations, now corroborated in the essential part by his accomplices, unfold in a precise manner, the origin and the details of the plot. " At the head of this plot is Mazzini. This ardent conspirator, already condemned by default on the 3d September, 1857, by the Assize Court of the Seine, was found guilty of having formed, with cer-, tain persons named Tibaldi, Bartoloti, and others a plot for the assassination of the Emperor, and has not ceased to attack, in the person of Napoleon 111., the principle of order and authority of which the revolution is the implacable enemy. During the trial of 1857 papers were seized which revealed these plots, and it is requisite to refer to them in order to show the criminal persistence of the chief of the party of action in Italy. " On the 10th of Jute, 1557, Mazzini wrote to his fellow-conspirators, Massarenti and Campanella, these words The carrying out this attempt is a vital affair for the country. . . . It is nearly the whole question, . . . The affair of Paris is more than ever desirable and urgent.' He recom mended them to call to mind all he had told as to the line of conduct they were to follow; he informed them of the means of procuring funds ; and he added, I would give millions, but I cannot.' At this period he again wrote on the subject of the conspi racy which was to spread over all Italy, but which he had not been able to bring to maturity, ' The structure that has been raised with infinite pains and unhoped-for success up to yesterday has been overthrown. . . : It is enough to make one dash his head against the wall. Ido not do so, however; we have to begin again,' "Mazzini was preparing for 1863 a vast revolu tionary movement, the signal for which was the assassination of the Emperor. Greco, a second-class conspirator, seemed to him at once obscure enough and resolute enough for the matter to be entrusted to him. 'Greco,' said Mazzini, in a letter addressed to the Times on the 14th January last, is an enthu siastic patriot, who has taken an active part in the expeditions of 1860 and 1861 in the South of Italy, and as such was in relation with me.' The rela tions of these two became intimate in April, 1863. Mazzini was then at Lugano. " The plan Iv as then arranged, and it was decided that Greco should proceed to Paris in the beginning of May to examine the state of affairs, and when opportunity offered, to make the attempt. At the moment of his departure Mazzini wrote, in his pre sence, a note to serve as the key of his correspon dence. In it everything was carefully provided for —the relations to be formed in Paris, with a view to baffle the vigilance of the police ; the necessity for money, arms, and assistants ; the notice to be given on the eve of the attempt. Finally, Mazzini mentioned, as the place to which letters were to be addressed to him in London, the house of a woman, named Rosselly, the daughter of a man with whom he had political relations at Lugano. The note was in these words : " The facts avowed by Greco were at first denied by the other accused. Trabuco pretended in his first interrogatory that ho knew nothing of the use for which the articles found in his room were intended. But he shortly afterwards asked to be examined again, and he declared with great violence of manner, that it would be found in some pages written by him since his arrest that the bombs seized in his room were intrusted to him, that ho had brought them to France, and that he meant to use them to kill the Emperor, whose death he had sworn since the affair of Aspromonte. He admitted that Greco showed him a bomb at Lugano, telling him, 'this is real justice;' to which he replied, it is the truth.' " Trabuco, with whom were deposited the keys of the trunks in which the bombs were placed, had been particu larly charged to examine the approaches to the Opera, and it was proved that ho obtained information as to the Em peror's habits. Scaglioni, after some denials, fully corrobo rated Greco's account, adding that each had threatened the the others with the disgrace of withdrawing from the plot. He explained that the bombs were to have been thrown under the Emperor's carriage, and, if necessary, the Em peror was to be put to death by means of poniards and re volvers. As for Imperatori, he at first pretended he knew nothing of the plot, hoping, as nothing was found in his room, that his position was better than that of his accom plices. " But his letter to Mazzini, seized upon Greco, left no doubt as to the part he had performed. Ho in vain endea voured to make it be believed that the letter had not the bearing attributed to it; next that it had been forced from him, and that since then he had never ceased to be the vic tim of moral constraint. He was at length obliged to admit his relations with Greco. He admitted that he introduced Scaglioni, that he was aware of the object of the journey ; that he assisted in bringing the bombs into France ; and that he knew Greco had assumed the name of Fioretti. The other prisoners explained that no arms were found in his room because the furniiure could not be firmly closed. " Seaglioni had possession of the two bombs which were to bo used by Imperatori. In fact, the proceedings of Ina peratori in Paris, as proved by the police agents, show that he was incessant in preparing for the execution of the plot. As for Mazzini, the protest which, according to custom, he made in the foreign press, both on the present conspiracy and on that of 1857, cannot prevail against the precise and corroborative declarations, the information, and particularly the written proofs collected during the preliminary pro ceedings. "Competent judges were appointed to examine the arms seized on the conspirators. It was ascertained Ly firing two of the bombs that each of them broke into more than 44 fragments, which would produce the most terrific results. As for the poniards, which Greco confessed were poisoned, a gummy matter was found, and tin sheets which had served to fix a poisonous substance, but that substance, which had left a trace on the blades, had evaporated and the experts could not discover its nature. " At the time the prisoners were arrested, the execution of the plot was evidently near at hand. Trabuco was about to leave. He had announced at his hotel that he was going to London; he asked for a hammer and some nails to close a box, and he wrote an address for it, which was found in his room. Scaglioni had written to his family to request they would send him money to Geneva. "Greco wrote to London to say that all was going on well, and asked for money which, in fact, arrived on the 6th, after his arrest, under the form of a draught for 500 f., supplied by a house known to have relations with Mazzini„ In fine, the bombs, which it was agreed should not be charged until the last moment, were filled with gunpowder the evening before the arrest of the prisoners. This was done by Trabuco and Greco, with the help of Scaglioni, and in presence of Imperatori. " Trabuco, for a purpose which it is difficult to under. stand, sought to maintain that he had not participated in it; but, being confronted with his accomplices, he answered, in his last examination, I accept the answers given by my friends.' " From Paris to London.—To Madame Roselly, 58, Myddelton-square, Pentonville, London.—lf you come in contact with Murat, you are to tell him, among other things, that you have good hopes as to your military career. If you are absolutely in want of arms, you are to ask permission to dedicate to him a fantasia of your own composition, 2/ roto, for the piano. If you are absolutely in w ant of pecuniary aid, you will tell him to send you, buying it for you, Balfe's last opera. Address and hour. If there is great probability of doing the thing, you are to write an insignificant letter, and conclude, 1 will write to you in a week, in three or four days. If there be absolute want of an intimate be pleased to tell me the price of a Broadwood piano iu London.' This note was one of the documents found in pos session of Greco. It is manifestly from the hand of Mazzici,as an expert has abundantly demonstrated. Together with this paper Mazzini sent a sum of money to Greco. Greco then set out for France, by way of Turin and Mont Cenis, and reached Paris early in May. Under the name of Fioretti, and sometimes under his own name, he lodged succes sively at the Hotel Saint-Marie, Rue de Rivo,i, and at No. 198, Rue St. Honore. He found a pretext, as had been agreed upon, to present himself at the house of Prince Alurat, one of whose secretaries he frequently saw ; and he succeeded in this way in making the police agents, who had at first watched his movements, believe that their, surveillance was superfluous. " The Emperor had for a short time left Paris. It was decided, in a correspondence between Greco and Mazzini, that the attempt should be postponed. Greco quitted his hotel in July, leaving behind him a portmanteau containing various articles, and say ing he was going to London. He returned to Lu gano, where he again found Mazzini. His relations with him were continual. " Never was crime more skilfully prepared —never were conspirators better chosen, and supplied with arms more terrible and more sure. Never was attempt against society at large so near its accomplishment, when the vigilance of tho authorities penetrated their designs, foiled their plots, and delivered over to justice the guilty. " Wherefore the persons named--Ist. Pascal Greco, aged os years, professor of music, born at Pisa (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St, Honore ; 2d. Raphael Trabuco, aged 40, born at Citta di Averzl (Italy), residing in Paris, No. 176, Rue St, Honore ; 34. NAtale Agestino Irapera tori, aged 33, bookbinder, born at Lugano (Switzerland), same residence ; 4th. Angelo Scaglioni, aged 22, student, born at Sc. Joseph (Italy), same residence; sth. Giuseppe Mazzini, born in Italy, absent —are accused of baying in 1863 and 1864, with the design concerted and decided be tween them, formed a plot having for its object to attempt the life of the Emperor ; the said plot having been followed by an act committed or commenced towards its execution; th e said crime being against the 86th &lid 89th Articles of the first section of the Penal Code." REVIVAL OF THE STOCRs On Tuesday after noon three boys were kept in the stocks at St. Ives, Corn wall, for three hours, for having played marbles on Sun day. This mode of punishment had not been adopted in the town for 30 years, and the novel sight consequently attracted several hundreds of spectators. LAUNCH OF A DANISH WAR VESSEL.—Oa Wednesday afternoon an armour-plated frigate, intended for the Danish Government, was launched from the build ing yard of Messrs. J. and G. Thomson, at Govan. The length of the vessel is about 280 feet, and she is of 3,500 tons burden and 600 horse power. She is covered from stem to stern with armour plates 4} inches thick, upon a strong backing of teak and iron plating. The launch was witnessed by a large number of persons on both sides of the river, and was conducted without the occurrence of asy mishap.

Greco retired to, .I\lendrizio, but he came several times in the week to Ma zzini's lodgings. It was during these interviews the orga: a i sat i on of the conspi racy was concluded. Mazzini frr,ra the commencement declares that, having gone to L ondon, he left the address, written with his own hand, to wh'ich letters for him should be directed, M. Flowers, 25, Thurloe-square, London.' This note was seized, w i t h severld other notes signed by Mazzini with his usua l a b breviati on, together with four of his photographs, two of which we re signed by him. " Eight days before Mazzini quitted Lugano he left 1,300 francs with Greco. He next sent him I,ooof. from London, and again 2,000 f. in bank notes.. At the same time he col lected arms. Greco received: 10 bombs, revolvers, and poniards, through various Ma zzinian agents, and particu larly through an individual named Mostel, of Genoa. Finally, Greco selected, with the approbation of llazzini, 'the comrades who were to accompany him to France. 4 ‘llo land already oecurcd silie amistauce of Imperatori.

In the vocabulary of the Secret Police the terms "Mouchard" and "Mouton" are the two which are most familiar to those who are uninitiated in its mysteries. The word " Mouchard" is not of modern origin. A certain Antoine de Mouthy, otherwise Democharis, a Doctor of Sorbonne, and Canon of Noyen in 1574, acquired an unenviable notoriety among his contemporaries by his zeal against the Reformers, and was appointed " Inquisitor of the Faith." The Reformers who were persecuted by, and who naturally hated him, gave the name of Moucharts to those whom he employed as spies to hunt out Dissenters. In his " History of the Par liament of Paris," Voltaire says :—" The famous Mouthy was in reality an informer, a spy of the Cardinal de Lorraine, and it was for him that the nickname of Mouchard was invented, and which designated all spies. The term has become an in sult." Other authorities will have it that it comes from mouths, a fly, because the mouchard, like the fly, is ever buzzing about the ears of people. Mouton is applied to an agent who, a prisoner him self, is employed to lead the conversation of his fellows in plots and conspiracies, and to gradually tempt them to disclose their plots with the same apparent frankness he reveals his own. They follow him as a flock of sheep follow their leader. Agents of this kind are employed in most political conspiracies, and, when all is ready, they either disappear, or may be included among the arrested, as a matter of form, and when brought to trial in form against their accomplices or those who confide their secrets to them. When the plot for which the Italian prisoners will to-morrow be on their trial was discovered the first thought that occurred to the public was that if not concocted by police agents, it may have been fomented matured by them, and that among the - accused themselves there was probably more than one who had performed the part of Mouton. How far that suspicion was founded will be seen from the following narrative, which I take textu ally from the Acte d'Accusution, or Bill of Indict ment, which will be- read to-morrow in the Assize Court by the Procureur Imperial. The Acte d'Ac• motion begins thus : On 24th December, 1863, four strangers entered France at the same time by the Swiss frontier, and exhibited to the Police Commissary of St. Louis their papers, in which they were designated by the names of Greco, Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli. The Commissary on reading the papers, recollected that in 1862 a man named Trabuco had been pointed out to the authorities on the frontier as an Italian conspirator of a most dangerous character; and without a moment's delay, he sent word by tele graph to the Prefect of Police that the person bear ing that name was proceeding to Paris with three companions by the Mulhouse Railroad. When they reached the Paris terminus, at half-past sin the morning of the 25th, a surveillance had been already organized, and from that moment till their arrest all their movements were closely watched. " They got out of the same carriage without ex changing a wcrd with each other, and pretended to take different directions ; but the four, Imperatori and Maspoli in one carriage, Trabuco in another, and Greco in the railway omnibus, drove to the Hotel Sainte-Marie, Rue de Rivoli, 83 ; Imperatori, Maspoli and Greco (under the name of Fioretti) hired roomsiin which they deposited their luggage. Trabuco, whose only luggage was a French horn and a game pouch, quitted the hotel in the course of the day. He said that he was going to London but he went to No. 198, Rue St. Honore, where Greco,who had formerly lodged there, recommended him and hired a room for him. These arrange ments, however, were only temporary. On the 2901 Greco presented himself at the Hotel de Naple, 176, Rae St. Honore, and hired three rooms, which were occupied the same day by him, Maspoli and Trabuco. The last-mentioned, on quitting the house, 198, took the precaution, as he had done when leaving the Hotel Sainte-Marie, to say that he was starting for London. The next day Greco brought Imperatori with him, who was placed in a fourth room; " In these different lodging-houses the man ner and bearing of the four strangers seemed singular. From the moment of their arrival they appeared to be hesitating, abstracted, and mysterious. At the Hotel Sainte Marie Greco had recommended the waiter to give the key of his room to nobody, ' not even to his own father.' In the house 178, Rue St. Honori, he observed to the landlady, Madame Musset, that the locks of the chests of drawers aed of other pieces of furniture were not solid enough; and he went out to buy, at a trunkmaker's, named Liard, a new box with lock and key, in which he deposited the contents of his game pouch. When he installed himself at the Hotel at Naples, Greco had the locks examined by a locksmith. He himself took up his things to his room. He waited to the last moment to show his papers, and those of his friends. It was only on the Ist of January that the landlady, Madame Thierry, could get Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli to ex hibit their passports; and Greco, who seemed an noyed at the thought of the house-register being examined by the police inspectors, did not put his name on it till the 2d of January. In a word, the movements of these men betrayed a feeling of un easiness. When they went abroad they managed so as to leave one of them in watch at the hotel. The servant who waited on them several times per ceived that they kept the doors of their rooms half open—even during the night—in order to be able to hear the slightest stir in the house. Out of doors their conduct was of a still more suspicious charac ter. I❑ the hotel they were constantly together, had long conversations, and their going out and coming in were combined ; still they took the pre caution when in the street to separate, to affect not to recognise each other, and when they approached to salute as if they were strangers. The morning after their arrival in Paris they were seen to observe ' with extraordinary care the approaches to the re- I served part of the gardens of the Tuileries. The same day they drove by the Place de la Concorde, and the central avenue of the Champs Elyees in a carriage, which by their order moved at a very slow pace, and they carefully noted every spot they thus passed over. "60a the 28th of December Trabuco, having gone to the streets leading to the Opera, and on the night the Emperor was to visit it, and having remained some time at the house of a hair dresser named Ranciot, in the rue Grange-Bate liere, rejoined his friends. The four then drove to the corner of the Boulevard and the rue Lepelletier. They waited at that spot till midnight, when the Emperor left the Opera; and they were observed to look about them frequently, and with all the ap pearance of mistrust. The following morning Tra leuco and Greco wont to the hairdresser's, Ranciot, under pretence of getting shaved; they then en. tercd the covered passage or gallery which leads from the rue Lepelletier, close to the Opera, to the Boulevard. After waiting some time to see if they were observed, they set themselves to examine mi nutely all the passages, and particularly the private entrance reserved for the Emperor. In this they passed half an hour. " On the 30th Ranciot, the hairdresser, on going to the Opera with his wife, found his two customers ander the peristyle, where they seemed to be on the watch. On the 2d of January Greco, Trabuco, Imperatori, and Maspoli visited the approaches to the Tuileries. But their abstraction of mind was visibly on the increase. They looked as if they felt they were watched; took circuitous drives or walks in the streets ; and when they went on font they were ever looking back or aside as if they thought some ono was dogging their steps. They were much embarrassed when paying their bill at the hotel, and seemed to be waiting impatiently for a letter and mouey.
